Or, to keep all fonts under ~/.fonts , this also works:

[NTG-context] Centered framed text in two columns
Dear All, I would like to vertically center a framed text in front of an item list, something like : - item - item - item my framed text - item - item I tried with two columns then by defining a paragraph but without success. I would also like the columns to have a fixed width like 70%-30% of the textwidth. Any hint ? Thanks in advance, -- Flavien.

Thanks Mojca for trying it now you check that this was very
difficult for a newbee as me ;-)
You probably have to add another 1in to the backspace, for the \hoffset.
If the exact way is too complicated, is there any **approximate** way to
obtain the usually margins in LaTeX article in 10 pt?
The exact way would be to read the LaTeX class and figure out what
dimensions are being used there. The approximate way would be to
visually compare the output of LaTeX and ConTeXt.
Sure there is: print an article.cls output pdf and measure the distances
with a ruler (that is what I do when I need to mimic a layout).
Or take Adobe Acrobat and use measuring tool, or compare visually
(aligning two documents in pdf viewer). If you print out the material
there's always a chance that printer won't align the edges properly.
The third option is to use the following in LaTeX to figure out what
dimensions are being used in LaTeX, compare that with figure in The
Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX and then use these numbers in
ConTeXt (properly adjusted for the differences):
hoffset=\the\hoffset\par
oddsidemargin=\the\oddsidemargin\par
marginparwidth=\the\marginparwidth\par
textwidth=\the\textwidth\par
But after I have managed to guess somehow that the horizontal
dimensions were matching
[backspace=\dimexpr 1in+31pt\relax
width=\dimexpr 390pt\relax,
in latex,12pt (but for some unknow reason hyphenation in ConTeXt was
off, or at least at different penalty values, so I didn't manage to
compare the line breaks) ... I realized that margins change if you try
to use
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
instead of 12pt, so one would need to account for that change as well.

Re: [NTG-context] questions regarding `\date`
Dear ConTeXt folks, Am Samstag, den 28.08.2010, 16:02 +0200 schrieb Paul Menzel: I have four questions regarding `\date`. I looked at the page in the Wiki [1], in the ConTeXt user manual on page 159 [2][3] and tried some things, but could not figure it out. I am using Debian Sid/unstable and I am a total beginner regarding ConTeXt. 0. I guess the first question is, if `\date` is supposed to be used inside a text anyway or just when for example setting the title page. 1. No space is inserted after using `\date[…]`. text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099] text result: text 29. August 2099text Is that intentional? A slash after the command fixes it. text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099]\ text this question was answered by Wolfgang and he gave a solution. 2. I do not want that one digit months have the zero displayed. But using `m` acts as using `month`. \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099][d,.\,,m] result: 29. August 3. Spacing between numbers. Using LaTeX there were some suggestions to typeset a date using small spaces like `29.\,8.\,2010`. I guess this depends on the fonts used and personal taste? If there is a rule, maybe that could be added to the typesetting chapter in the user manual. Could you answer or give your opinions an 0., 2. and 3. please? That would be great.

you can be pretty sure that defaults in context differe from those in

Hi,

Anyone could say me the exact values I have to put in **layout**?
You first have to figure out what the exact latex values are. I suppose that
they are documented somewhere or can be deduced from the document class
(maybe make a list for more popular document classes).
At some point there can be a module doing things like
\definelayout[latex-article][...]
I looked now in the files where the layout for the standard classes in latex
is defined and it's a mess to reproduce them in context because all values
depend on the papersize and fontsize and it takes a lot of code (even with
etex’s \dimexpr) because there are checks whether a calculated dimensions
exceeds a fixed limit.
This is how the layout for a document with a fontsize of 10pt looks:
\definelayout
[latex10]
[width=\ifdim\dimexpr\paperwidth-2in\relax345pt\relax
345pt\else\dimexpr\paperwidth-2in\relax\fi, % \paperwidth-2in or 345pt, use the
smaller value
backspace=\dimexpr(\paperwidth-\textwidth)/2-1in\relax,
leftmargindistance=7pt,
leftmargin=,
topspace=,
header=12pt,
headerdistance=.25in,
height=,
footer=,
footerdistance=,]

\starttext
\chapter{first}

What you observe is 'conversion' being inherited and makins both the
conversionsets and conversion work as you want will mess up much code so I
think that I will remove the 'conversion' key completely in favor of the
set. Keep in mind that we now keep more status info around and more or less
local conversion settings (after all then can be changed each moment) is not
part of that.
So, a next release will drop 'conversion' ... better not that unpredictable.

That's what I prefer, too. Bringhurst (v.3.2, p. 81f.) only uses
the date as an example for the opposition virgule/solidus and
states that “[i]t is useful in dates [...] and in text where a
comma or parenthesis might otherwise have been used”. He does not
give general advice wrt typesetting of dates.
For the record, p. 406 of the TeXbook has this:
··8
\def\today{\ifcase\month\or
January\or February\or March\or April\or May\or June\or
July\or August\or September\or October\or November\or December\fi
\space\number\day, \number\year}
··8
Ergo common spaces.

Re: [NTG-context] questions regarding `\date`
2010/8/31 Taco Hoekwater t...@elvenkind.com: The Chicago manual (14ed) says that slashed/dotted dates are bad style and should be avoided and that one should use full month names instead. Seconded. And if you have to use a short form, please follow ISO 8601 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) - nobody can be sure when the 8.9.10 is.

[NTG-context] numbered subitems revisited
Several iterations of MK2 ago (in 2007), I was able to produce:
1. History
1.1 Pre-Greek (Babylonian and Egyptian) sundials
1.2 Greek and Roman sundials
1.3 Byzantine sundials
2. Catalog (descriptions with photos, rough dating, evaluation)
2.1 The Tower of the Winds and its sundials, treated separately
2.2 General remarks on the cataloguing of the other finds
2.3 Catalogue of the remaining finds on the Greek mainland and
the Peloponnesus
3. Analysis
3.1 Methodological remarks on the mathematical tools for analysis,
and on their status
3.2 Documentation of the results of the mathematical analysis of
the measurements, comparison with other evaluations
using the following code (thanks to Aditya):
\setupitemize[1][fit,broad]
\setupitemize[2][width=2em]
\setupitemize[each][n]
\def\checkforrepeatedlistitem
{\ifnum\itemlevel=\plusone

Is there a fix for this?

[NTG-context] mkiv and Reverse list of abbreviations
Hi everyone,
I have three questions regarding the use of abbreviations in mkiv: it seems
that there is a difference between the way in which mkii and mkiv treat the
definitions of synonyms.
If one considers the minimal example:
% - begin abbrev-test.tex
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
\starttext
\abbreviation{LCTVS}{Locally Convex Topological Vector Space}
\abbreviation{EEG} {Electroencephalogram}
\abbreviation{ERP} {Event-Related Potentials}
\abbreviation{TVS}{Topological Vector Space}
Test inshort: \inshort{EEG}, \inshort{ERP}, \inshort{TVS},
Test infull: \infull{EEG}, \infull{ERP}, \infull{TVS}, \infull{LCTVS}
\completelistofabbreviations
\stoptext
% - end abbrev-test.tex
my questions are the following:
1) How can I tell mkiv that I want \infull{EEG} result in Electroencephalogram
not in ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM?
2) It seems that the order in which \infull and \inshort are defined in
\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
is different in mkii and in mkiv: is this observation correct?
3) Is it possible to obtain, beside the list of abbreviations, another ordered
list in which the full variant is in the first column while the short variant
is in the second column? That is something like:
\completeReverseListOfAbbreviations
resulting in
ElectroencephalogramEEG
Event-Related PotentialsERP
Locally Convex Topological Vector Space LCTVS
Topological Vector SpaceTVS
Thanks in advance for any help or insight.
Best regards: OK

Try Taco's suggestion, I myself got unpredictable results with ~/.fonts,
try instead ~/texmf/fonts/{afm,type1} or even ~/texmf/fonts/data
We should try to find what is causing the erratic behavior of ~/.fonts
Perhaps it is all just because the default $OSFONTDIR does not contain
~/.fonts ? I tried this:
export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts:~/.fonts
Mine is:
export OSFONTDIR='$HOME/.fonts//:/usr/share/fonts//'
Mine is (in setuptex)
OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts;
export OSFONTDIR
I had some troubles with OSFONTDIR and opentype fonts in the past. Perhaps
I should use : and trailing // and test again.
